Back to relative normal

After a long stormy weekend, I'm back to blogging. I thought about blogging. I thought about it a lot. Doesn't that count?

Theres this massive storm coming through and we've lost power once so far, and it will probably happen again. We live in the back woods, and the power company seems to make us last priority. I suppose it's only fair-as we live up here by choice.

I like it when the power goes out at first- it sort of releases me from the normal guilt of having to get a whole bunch of stuff. I usually find myself reading or writing in these times.

I have one kid in school today, instead of the normal 2. One is sick, so he says. And of course I have the little one- who has preschool today (assuming a giant tree hasn't crushed the school house).

I am excited to start my Acrylic class tomorrow- though I'm panicked because I'm afraid I don't know enough about painting to master any one medium. It will be good experience, though- and good knowledge for me. I've got to stop rushing myself- hoping to become this amazing artist in record time. I really need to work my butt off- something I'm not known for.

I plan to run today- hopefully I'll survive the wind. And the rain.
